Saudi Arabia May Be Tied to 9/11, 2 Ex-Senators Say

216. Using the put down cliches much?

As mentioned before, the 9/11 commission was dissed by its own chairmen. So it is difficult to consider them an umimpeachable source. The Bushies steered the commission away from many avenues of investigation through various means including
the executive director of the 9/11 Commission Philip D. Zelikow, a longtime intimate of Condoleeza Rice.


In March 2004, Democracy Now!'s Amy Goodman interviewed former Senator Max Cleland of Georgia, who served on the 9-11 commission. Goodman began the segment with a background report:

A pair of public interest groups, the 9-11 Family Steering Committee and the 9-11 Citizens Watch have called for the resignation of the Director of the Independent 9-11 Commission, Phillip Zelikow. It turns out that in Richard Clarke's book, he reveals how Zelikow participated in Bush administration briefings on Al Qaeda prior to 9-11 and they're saying that this compromises him, since the mandate of the commission was to investigate the source of failures. It is now apparent why they said there has been so little effort to assign individual culpability. We can now see that trail would lead to the staff Director himself.



And there are a long list of engineers and scientists who don't agree with the conclusions of FEMA and NIST.
